David, I have a little information about John W. Hayden of Co.K . He was my great-granduncle. John Wesley Hayden was the eldest son of Charles E. Hayden of Delaware and Mary Rebecca Bossee of Kent Co. Maryland. John was born in 1844. He was 18 years old and resided in Queen Anne Co. Maryland when he mustered in on Aug. 21, 1862. His occupation was listed as farmer. He was present at all roll calls except for Feb 5,1865 when he was attended for an incised wound and in Mar. 1 to 9, 1865 when he was diagnosed with a fractured wound. He returned to duty after both incidents. During the civil war, his father, Charles E. Hayden, also in the union army, served with Co. F, 1 Reg't Potomic Home Brigade, Maryland Cavalry, also known as "Cole's Brigade." After the civil war, John married Elizabeth M. Stinson, on March 12, 1872, in Smyrna, Delaware. They had at least three children, Charles E., Herman, and John H. Hayden. John W. also lived in Wilmington, De. where he worked as a carpenter. He was in Wilmington when he died of pneumonia on March 26, 1912 and was buried in Riverview cemetery. All the civil war information listed above was obtained from his pension record xc2685-639.
